I have sleeve tattoos on both arms. I love my tattoos, and I chose a vintage-looking dress that I plan to dress up with red lipstick and a pin-up/50's look. The problem: My mother. She hates my tattoos, always has, and out of courtesy, I try to wear longer sleeved shirts around her to keep the peace.

Now, I know my wedding is supposed to be about ME, not her, but I know she's going to flip out and be difficult if I don't cover my arms. She babysits my son, so I really need to keep our relationship good. Part of me feels like I should just cover my arms because it will be easier than dealing with her, but the other part really resents having to plan my attire around one person.

Thoughts?

    My mom dislikes my tattoos as well, but they are a part of who I am. On my wedding day my mom didn't say anything negative about tattoos being say, she was just in awe with how amazing I looked in my dress. It's your day so let your tattoos show!
